Hybrid Composites: Study on Un-Treated Kenaf/Glass Fibre Properties

A hybrid composite consisting of untreated kenaf fibre and glass fibre was investigated by varying the fibre glass weight ratios and using interply fabrication method. the expected results were to have better composite performance in terms of its toughness and impact strength as a comparison between the hybrid (kenaf/e-glass fibre composites) and e-gf composites alone. for the purpose of this study, all the samples were prepared using typical sample preparation. results show that the incorporation of e–glass fibre resulted in brittle failure and a higher amount of e-glass fibre with low percentage of kenaf fibre causing high strength, low ductile, and low toughness behaviours
